Meyer Lemon-Cranberry Bundt Cake image

This make-ahead holiday cake comes with a tangy treat inside. Use sweet Meyer lemons. If you can't find them, try a combination of orange and regular lemon juice. For a festive garnish, dip cranberries in a beaten egg white, toss with sugar and let dry. From the November, 2009 Food Network Magazine.

Time 1h50m

Yield 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/4 cups unsalted butter, cubed and at room temperature, plus more for the pan
3 cups cake flour, sifted, plus more for the pan
12 ounces fresh cranberries (can use frozen cranberries, thawed)
2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
6 tablespoons whole milk
4 large eggs, plus 2 egg yolks
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons finely grated meyer lemon zest
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp meyer lemon juice
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Prepare the cake: Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350°. Butter and flour a 10-cup flute Bundt pan.
  • Cook the cranberries with 3/4 cup granulated sugar in a pot over medium-high heat until juicy and the mixture reduces to 1 1/4 cups, about 15 minutes. Let cool.
  • Whisk the milk, whole eggs and yolks, and vanilla in a medium bowl; set aside.
  • Whisk the 3 cups flour, the remaining 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar, the lemon zest, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Add the 3 1/4 sticks butter and beat with a mixer on low speed until moistened. Add half of the milk mixture, increase the speed to medium and beat 1 minute. Add the remaining milk mixture in two batches, beating between each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat again, about 30 seconds.
  • Transfer 2/3 of the batter to the pan. Spoon the cranberry mixture in a ring around the middle of the batter (do not let it touch the pan). Top with the remaining cake batter and smooth evenly. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the pan comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the syrup: Dissolve the 1/4 cup granulate sugar in 1/2 cup lemon juice in a saucepan over low heat. Remove the cake from the oven, poke the serface all over with a skewer and pour the syrup on top. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Carefully invert the cake onto a parchment-lined rack to cool completely. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and let sit overnight.
  • When ready to serve, whisk the confectioners' sugar and the remaining 2 tablespoons lemon juice unil smooth. Spoon over the cake.

CRANBERRY BUNDT® CAKE



Cranberry Bundt® Cake image

I don't like fruit cake but I love this. We grew up with this every Christmas. It's a little tangy, very moist, and can be dressed up for company or kept simple if you want. It freezes well, but we've never had leftovers when there was only one cake around! (And no one has ever complained about "fruitcake"!)
